Yoste said he had been told by Mississippi State officials that Turner will be allowed to resume his college career.

Athletic department spokesman Mike Nemeth said no decision has been made on Turner's future with the team.

Sherrill was out of town Friday and could not be reached for comment.

Turner appeared in four games as a reserve last season before being sidelined by an ankle injury. He rushed for 31 yards on eight carries and averaged a team-high 26.8 yards on kickoff returns and 11.5 yards on punt returns.
